Live Blogging Sprint Cup Series Practice From Texas (SPEED)

Steve Byrnes, Jeff Hammond and Larry McReynolds are set to host the final practices for the Cup Series from Texas.

This is a fast track with the potential for trouble all around the circuit. SPEED has perfected the practice coverage and uses Wendy Venturini and Bob Dillner to report from the garage area. These two have consistently kept viewers up to date with the stories unfolding during these sessions.

The weather is great, the pictures are good and the action even during practice is interesting to watch. This post will host your comments about the practice and Happy Hour coverage on SPEED.

morning, jd! just tuned in: wonder if it'll be just us this morning? liked larry mac's info in re: r gordon's oil issue. dillner's illustration of the oil on the back of the 7 car was good, visual tv as well. nice combo.

@red - If it were a S&P driver, I'd agree, but Andretti's been running every race this year and only has two DNFs, both to crashes. (And the last one was that dangerous incident at the end of the Martinsville race.) His equipment is probably just giving up the ghost at this point.

@andrew; agree in re: andretti: not an S&P to be certain. just wish it were possible for the 44th car from qualifying to hang around in case any team had to fall out. i know it doesn't happen often & it's not feasible financially but i hate that some teams get bumped by obvious S&Pers.

I've figured out the rash of dark hair on SPEED. I don't think anyone dyed anything including JR, the pic that Wendy took at the bowling thing shows his hair its normal color, and Byrens looks fine this weekend. I think someone in the SPEED hair department thought a new gel, or mousse would be the bomb, and it was. Gel makes hair look 'wet' and so darker. Just my guess.
